Busy Week

[Janet]

It sure didn't start off well, so I'm really not wanting to wish time away, but I think I'm ready for next week...

Sunday...my birthday, no cards, no cake, and from family....only my brothers and my Mom wished me a happy birthday.
Monday...took Mom to the Wellbound kidney center
Tuesday...took Mom to hearing Dr.
Wednesday....(today) took Mom back to Wellbound for lab work
Thursday....taking Mom to the GI dr.
Friday....I just know something will pop up
Saturday...school day

It would be nice if my brothers could help with Drs appts. but they work during the day. My older brother has helped and so has his wife, but I could use a break this week. I think my younger brother may take Mom to church on Sunday...we'll see.

If someone can't take her....then I'm just gonna have to leave for a few hours. I need some alone time. I just never realized how hard it is taking care of an aging parent. But...I know we'll get through it. She's doing really well right now. Hasn't been in the hospital since Feb. 21st...I think it's a record.

Oh I almost forgot.....Mom got her drivers license renewed yesterday...can you believe it? We all thought that since it expired, she would have to have a written or driving test, but noooooo...just fork over $12 and she's free to drive again...heaven help the other people on the road.

Mom is also talking about going home....I honestly don't think she's capable and I'm afraid she might back slide if left alone so we'll see. It won't be for awhile yet, if ever, but she is talking about it.

So that sums up the update on my life with Mom. LOL...maybe I should start a blog and title it: "Life With Mother"
